Paulo Ferreira

Now that would be fucked

[Kez 2,727]

Glen Johnson was shocking

[Elliott 7]

He was alright. Yeah Ferreira was better than him.

But why should we keep a player because he was integral 5 seasons ago? That's just silly.

[manpe 10,861]

We shouldn't... but as long as he wants to play for us and has quality to do it, why not. Better than having Cristiano Analdo at ManU. Again, if anybody is to leave from the right side, I would pick Bella.. because of his age mostly (hey, Ferreira doesn't blossom anymore either... so if you ask me, get them both out and get some Dani Alves in or stick with Ivanovic... but I tend to be happy with what we got)

A matter of finance perhaps?

I can see your point about keeping a more defensively minded right-back, but we may just not have received offers for Juliano whereas we did Paulo, so Paulo would be the one to go. Of course, maybe the club really were just keeping two attack minded right-backs instead. Perhaps that is what Scolari wants. We are definitely using wingbacks with our current formation rather than full backs. Everytime we get the ball, Ashley and Jose are level with the midfield.

[manpe 10,861]

Yeah well, we don't park the bus like sperms do...

I actually don't think we have three right backs. I'd say we have two wing backs and one right backs; because Belletti and Boz aren't the best at defending, to put it nicely, however our system does utilise full-backs, when Paulo is a solid defender who always is willing to answer the call. Can't ask for more.

Well we actually have four players who can play at right back, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Belletti and Ivanovic. Plus then Essien if we absolutely desperate. Would rather Belletti went, we already have an attacking right back in Bosingwa and Paolo is more versatile, can play right or left, Ivanovic is dying to play so we should have just sold or loaned out Belletti cos he really is a surplus

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is eyeing across town to boost his fullback options.

The Daily Mail says Redknapp remains on the lookout for a right back, having failed to sign former Liverpool defender Steve Finnan on loan from Spanish side Espanyol.

The Spurs manager is keen on Chelsea's Paulo Ferreira, who has slipped behind Jose Bosingwa in the Stamford Bridge pecking order after signing a five-year deal only 12 months ago.

[Elliott 7]

Well we have Belletti as back-up and Mancienne and Hutchinson to come through. So I wouldn't be opposed to it.

[Kez 2,727]

Depends how happy he is sitting on the bench every week

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I wouldn't be too unhappy to let him go, but with that being said, I think we should keep him until the summer at least, just so we have experienced cover in Belletti and Ferreira for the full-back positions. I say this because Scolari seems to prefer Belletti in an attacking role, so if that is the case, at least we have traditional back up in PF19.

[Matterz 67]

Id rather get rid of Belletti, think Paolo is a good consistent player and well Belletti im not sure what he is really

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Belletti is a fucking genius, thats what he is

[Ollie 4,400]

Belletti is great, feel sorry for him a bit that he dont play much, he certainly could do a very consistant job for someone else. Paulo should be the one to go because he dont play at all. I think he'll be gone soon.

[the wes 7,212]

we be luck to get £2m for Paulo Ferreira

[Matterz 67]

In previous seasons Paolo has done a very good job, Belletti is a half decent Right Back but for some reason he keeps coming on as a midfielder for reasons unbeknown to me just shows how backwards we have gone
